If the NWS streamed NEXRAD gifs for free, how would places like OU and Purdue make any money selling the data? ;-) I don't hate the topo map, but I don't see it really adding any value either...Originally posted by rdewey
I'm not really seeing what the difference is between the \"short range\" and \"standard\" is, except the topo. map. I was expecting Level II data or something... Almost every office streams L2 data, and it wouldn't take much to generate that into an image for their station, and send it to the NWS NEXRAD gif server for all to view...
